Community and project management
We welcome participants and other collaborating projects whose interests intersect. It enhances group cohesion and satisfaction to declare the aims to target.
In scope
- anti-bloat: feature creep
- code golfing, minimalism, small is beautiful, less is more
- security: possibility for auditing review, less opportunity for bugs
- bottleneck-free: reduce single points of failure, web content can be developed in preferred form for modification
- NIH: DIY, primitive technology, clean room reimplementation, artisan independence
- simple living: short specification, simple to learn by content producers, syntax regularity
- transparency: nothing up my sleeves, less opportunity for backdoors
- anti-oligopoly: possibility for competition
- anti vendor lock-in: reproducible environment
- cross-platform: code generation, run anywhere
- self-hosting: migrate between inexpensive alternatives
- retro-computing, cyberpunk, anachronism: most web pages according to this standard should function on web browsers from the 1990s or simple present ones and they are built and look as if they were from the 1990s
Out of scope
- making it look pretty
- create a browser according to this specification and expect to be able to view arbitrary old websites from the 1990s
